Hear about rafting the Grand Canyon for seven days as the Amateur Traveler talks about this bucket list trip sponsored by Western River Expeditions.

In this solo (but not really solo) episode of Amateur Traveler, host Chris Christensen recounts a seven-day rafting adventure down the Grand Canyon with Western River Expeditions — a journey filled with whitewater rapids, red rock cliffs, side canyon hikes, waterfalls, fossils, ancient ruins, and meaningful encounters with fellow travelers.

Major rapids including Hermit, Crystal, Granite, Sockdolager, Lava Falls, and more
Cultural stops: Nankoweap granaries, ancestral Puebloan ruins, sacred Hopi salt mines
Geology & scenery: Marble Canyon, Vishnu schist, Zoroaster granite, lava flows, and Redwall Cavern
Side hikes to Havasu Canyon, Elves Chasm, Stone Creek Falls, and Deer Creek
Memorable stargazing, Dutch oven desserts, and even a toga night
